Default Create d fields

Hi all



I'm newbie to world but I will do my best to describe what I would like to do :

I have a long document with some recurrent values like "beginning date" "end date" "percentage" etc...
I would like to enter each of these values just one time and have it duplicate all over other pages in the document, each time it's quoted

For now I have to enter each of these values manually many times

Is there a solution ?

Thanks !

There are several solutions to this. My recommendation is mapped content controls.

Here are some relevant links for you to study

Hi, and thanks again

Insert Content Control Add-In did the trick for me, and it is compatible with word 2021, while greg Maxey tools isn't

Many thanks for your help (both of you)

Greg's is certainly compatible with Word 2021, but so long as you have something that works for you.
